We didn't get too much snow in Santa Fe but south of Albuquerque they have closed down I-25 all the way down to the bottom of the state because of snow and ice

My only problem is that I woke up this morning to -18 degrees outside and the inside of my house is only 61 degrees. For some reason my hot water boiler furnace is not keeping up with the low temperatures outside. It is going on 18 years old and probably need the tubes reamed out due to calcium deposits but we can't shut it down for any repair right now.

Just north of us at Angel Fire they are reporting -31 degrees right now. The news said that every major city in New Mexico was below zero last night.

I wonder if there isn't something like cooling system flush for cars that you could add to the existing water. Then let it circulate for a while to dissolve the calcium. Finally flush the system and get rid of the calcium. If there is such a product, when I was finished flushing I would refill the system with distilled water. We had a similar problem with our in floor heating at the airport. It had turned black with some kind of bacteria. The introduction of a gallon of bleach cleared it up immediately. Then we flushed the system and refilled it with distilled water. The black bacteria has never returned. We have a spinnning wheel with a sight glass so we can observe the water flowing in the system at any time.

-12 here this morning. I'm glad I did the plowing yesterday. I'll have to go to the airport and plow out my and several other hangers. That project is waiting until Saturday when it is suppose to be +29.

I see Gene commenting on 70 degree weather in NC. On several occasions I have been in the RDU area when it snowed. Those people go nuts and shut down everything for an inch or two of snow.

Ken,

I was born and raised in West Virginia and we were very content with all the snow we had and more than once we had 36 inches over night. The trouble here in North Carolina is people do not see snow very often and usually just an inch when it does snow which doesn't last more than one day. Here I never go out of my driveway when it snows because someone will run into you. Even on rainy days we can go over to Statesville on I-40 and see two or three cars wrecked along the highway. Still go 70 mph and jsooner or later just slide off the highway. .
